&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" src="/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5932/pastedimage1689800208151v2.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have a single-story roof with a high roof.&amp;nbsp; At the location of the high roof, the wind load should be applied at the high roof and the girts. However, the generated wind load&amp;nbsp;only applies load to diaphragms, so wind load is applied at the high roof diaphragm and at the roof diaphragm that is not exposed, and no load at the girt level. This also means that wind load at the high roof is lesser than what it should be.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there a way to model this correctly? Or is user-defined loads the only way?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Unbraced Length and w2</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum/242892/unbraced-length-and-w2</link><pubDate>Tue, 14 Mar 2023 16:18:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e02bd098-0002-4fd9-be2e-5225756c1184</guid><dc:creator>Jason Ascuncion</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the RAM SS Steel Beam Module, beams perp. to the deck (unbraced lengths equal to 0) still has w2 being reported, even though the manual says w2 = --- when unbraced length equals 0. Even when I check the option for w2 = 1.0 for simple span beams, w2 is reported not equal to 1.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Beams PARALLEL to the deck are showing the correct w2 when I check the option.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>.c0, .c1, .c2, .c3 files slow down saving the file</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum/241088/c0-c1-c2-c3-files-slow-down-saving-the-file</link><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 19:55:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:929765c2-ad92-43b9-8bea-cd75978d44f9</guid><dc:creator>Jason Ascuncion</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I might have accidently clicked something in my model, because now every time I save my model, saving is a lot slower. When comparing with older versions of my model, the saving seems to slow down for the files ending in .c0, .c1, .c2, .c3.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can anyone please provide some clarity? I am afraid I drastically changed something in my model.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RAM Element: One Member vs Multiple Members for Continuous Beam</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum/241523/ram-element-one-member-vs-multiple-members-for-continuous-beam</link><pubDate>Fri, 10 Feb 2023 14:30:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:00bddb22-18be-4a1f-b16f-aa0ab0763089</guid><dc:creator>Jason Ascuncion</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Every time I have designed continuous beams in RAM Element, I have modelled them with a single member across multiple nodes. When I compare the results to a beam modelled with individual members between each node, the results are similar, but not exactly the same.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Which way is the more optimal way to model continuous beams?

&lt;p&gt;How does the program calculate the elastic modulus for concrete walls?

&lt;p&gt;I am trying to model wood roofs for some of my models (wood joists with plywood sheathing, wood trusses). I am considering them semi-rigid, but I do not know what properties to use (Modulus of elasticity, Poisson&amp;#39;s ratio, etc.).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are there any recommended values to use for modelling these types of roofs?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Ask A Question I</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/achievements/460ac7df-7ccc-4c42-a204-9e05eef3be09</link><pubDate>Mon, 29 Aug 2022 02:50:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:4858dc34-889b-4c06-865a-762b34d8707e</guid><dc:creator /><description>Ask a question in a forum.</description></item></channel></rss>
